NOW that Trina and Vernon knew what I was doing and about Marcus, I had no trouble hiding from them. I'm only worried about Persuz because I know who his loyalty is and it's not mine. I don't even have to explain if I'm leaving and answer their question every time I come back."I want to go to the village but I can't, Marcus. I have to be careful with my every move," I said to him while we were on the edge of the stream. He wanted us to go to the village of the wolves because he said he had things to tell me but it was not possible because Volter had disciples there who might see me and tell Volter."Why not, Syrie?" he asked me in surprise.I looked at him seriously. "Marcus, you don't know who is a true friend or foe even if it's your kind and with you," I meaningfully reminded him who frowned even more."What do you mean, Syrie? That there is a traitor in the village?"I didn't answer right away. I don't know if I should talk about Colby or just let it go. "I don't know, Marcus, bu
I STILL CAN'T believe what I heard from those wolves. I try to understand and find the truth in them. Is all that true? But someone tells me to believe that because they are telling the truth but there is a part that reminds me of the vampires who sheltered me and the good they did for me.Maybe I was just surprised by what I found out. How did my real father Amaro become Trevor's brother? And then, how come they didn't tell me that. Why didn't they confess to me those things that I should know. They didn't even mention to me that Amaro is my father. It's all a mess and I don't know which one is true."Are you ok?"I heard Marcus' voice. He sat next to me on the veranda of the house where I also stayed before. I kept looking around where I could see the tall trees. I sighed. "Marcus, everything is a mess. I have so many questions in my mind that I can't get the answer to. I don't know what to think about what I found out," I confessed, then turned to look at him with confusion on my f
I WILL NOT allow myself to leave this village without knowing other things about my real parents. The darkness is spreading around and I also have to go back home because I know Persuz will ask again where I went if I don't go home.Yena and I also played for a long time because we longed for each other before Rossa came and took the child.Marcus hasn't come back since father Trigo called him, so I'll be the only one to go there to know everything about my parents’ past. I want to clear up before I leave because I might not be able to sleep if those things keep messing with my mind.Marcus and father Trigo were surprised when they saw me enter the room. They seem to be talking seriously."Syrie, what are you doing here?" Marcus greeted me. The momentary concern on his face did not escape my eyes, father Trigo is not like that.I stepped closer to them and sat in the empty seat opposite Marcus. "I want to know everything right now, Marcus. Everything about my parents," I said directly
UNTIL I got home that night, I still couldn't fully wrap my head around everything I learned. It keeps messing with my mind while I don't know how to accept and believe that. I am now torn between two sides and I don't know which to believe, who is telling them the truth. I'm confused and still don't know what to do."Hey! I've been calling you for a while, Syrie why don't you seem like yourself?"I blinked because Vernon waved his palm in my face. His surprised face appeared at me."It's strange that you're dumbfounded, Syrie? We've been here for a while but you don't seem to see or feel anything at all?" Trina said with folded arms as she stood on the edge of the sofa. Then she also sat there.I tried to smile while looking at these two. I turned my back away from the sofa and my face became serious. I slightly avoided looking at them. "I-it's nothing, I just thought of something," I excused them. I don't know if it's the right time to tell them everything I found out."Is there a p
Thanks but no thanks My eyes sailed quickly around when I heard crackles and footsteps from not far away, where I was. Lush trees and thick grasses surround me where a creature is hiding. I became alert and my system seemed to be in fight mode immediately for what could happen.I slowly step forward while scanning the surroundings because I knew in the dark there might be a hidden werewolf that for me is an enemy even in physical form, werewolves are just like me.I positioned myself as the crackle from the lush grass grew louder. I know that creature is coming and I have to be ready. I backed away when three large wild pigs came out of the lush grass ready to rush to have me as their dinner but I would not allow them to do that because I was not born just to be eaten by any creature.I conditioned myself to change form. I wouldn’t be able to match them if I only h
Second timeI was greeted by many vampires scattered in the area where Volter live. They are all staring at me with fear in their eyes. None of them wanted to come near. Am I so intimidating that even if I just pass by, fear will show on their faces?Since the death of my identified vampire parents, I no longer stayed in this place because I felt it was too crowded for Volter and me.“Miss Syrie, Chief Volter has been waiting for you for a while,” the woman stationed at the entrance of the house greeted me. I just nodded and followed her.The door of the room opened where there is Volter. He is sitting on the swivel chair while his legs are crossed and facing me with a smile.“Welcome to our house, Syrie!” he said. My forehead furrowed.This is not what I expected him to open up to me. I examined his face but it was blank as if he&rsqu
Syria’s planVernon and Trina threw a lot of questions at me when I got home last night while Persuz was just quiet from the corner.But who wouldn’t care and be intrigued to ask if you came home wearing a man’s clothes and no underwear other than a jacket?“You seem to be thinking deeply, ah?” My mind seemed to get relax immediately. I turned to Trina who was wondering.“Oh? I thought you left with them, Vernon?” I asked.“I didn’t,” he said. “For sure they will hunt wild animals again and I prefer to wait for fresh blood.”From the race of vampires where I grew up, there are only a few of them who do not drink human blood and Trina is one of them. That’s one reason why I don’t want to go back to Volter.I can’t bear to see how they kill innocent pe
Marcus"How's the plan, Syrie? Did it work?" Trina and Vernon's questions were bombarding me when I got home.I went straight to the sofa and looked at them seriously. "It looks like the plan is working," she said, giving them confirmation. "But I don’t know how far this plan will go," I added."How come? How did you say that?" Vernon asked.I took a deep breath before I answered his question. "We all know that he's not just a werewolf and he's not that idiot that we can fool.""Then you should act normal," Trina suggests.Vernon nodded and agreed with Trina. "Besides, the way that wolf looks at you, it seems like he wants you, right?" She added with a hint of teasin
